I wasn't originally gonna post this, but cause it feels too racist to do so (and I'm one of the brownies, Mexican kind), but then I saw Cornyn opine, and wanted to get y'all's thoughts.

So, tu posted their hype vid after the win yesterday…


And sure enough, this is their student section:


Like, we all know how it feels like Texas is getting overrun at an alarming rate. And I say overrun because when large swath of people come from another country, a different culture, and don't assimilate into our established culture, customs, and traditions, well, issues arise. At least when my parents came here in search of a better life, yes they wanted me to hang on to the customs they grew up with, but at the same time, they wanted to, and in turn, wanted me to grow up with American cultures and values instilled. Something as simple as turkey on thanksgiving, and burgers and hot dogs for Fourth of July. People may not it's a big deal, but it's the little things that grow, seeds if you will, that blossom and open the gates to understand why we do things, and falling in love with them in the process. I love America, what she stands for, and the resilience and courage her people show, such as the World Wars, 9/11, any instance of evil facing her people, America has always stood as a beacon of hope for her people. And I don't believe the people coming here know no care to know about that…

I'll get off my soapbox now… anyways, then I see Cornyn post this, and I'm just like, there's no way they thought this would go over well.


So what's y'all's thoughts? Also I'm posting this on my phone while waiting on my waffles from waffle house, so sorry if the links don't come through.


They're at an American football game enthusiastically cheering for their favorite team. I'd say they've assimilated rather well.


You see if you put on a burnt orange shirt, a cowboy hat, and yell hook 'em horns, you are as American as someone whose ancestors fought in the Texas Revolution, fought the Comanche on the Frontier, fought in the Civil War, and can further trace their ancestry back to Jamestown.

You have now declared the entire nation and its people have no foundation and it's superficial at best.

We are living the reality of Deuteronomy 28.

Lol. Maybe time to wake up and realize white people are getting sold out by their fellow white dudes at the top. Easier to blame some Texas undergrad for H1B issues rather than realize who is actually picking their pocket...but it's gotta be the Indian student at UT attending a football game that's the problem...right? Never would be their fellow white dude politician / CEO!


BINGO! Divide and conquer has never failed. It's disgusting what is happening in the O&G industry.

One of my good friends' kids just picked tu over A&M, Rice and a bunch of others. Super smart kid. Except for picking tu he's the kind of kid you want your daughter to date.

My friend and his wife are Indian and moved here about 20 years ago. Maybe 25. Their boys (18, 16) are the darkest people I've ever seen. I've been to the Congo and they are darker than anyone I saw there. When you speak to them, they sound just like my three blonde haired Texan daughters.

Both of those boys (and their parents) LOVE Jesus, love America, love Texas, and vote harder right than almost any native Texan I have met. They love all things America. They are ALL American citizens.

To say that based on how they look that all those kids in the stands are indicative of what's wrong is, well, wrong. Completely 100% wrong.

To be concerned about what is happening with the obvious H1B fraud and abuse and the complete lack of reason surrounding responsible immigration practices isn't wrong. Making the assumption that people oppose that out of racism is just as wrong as assuming that those kids aren't American simply by the color of their skin.

Sports is supposed to unite, not divide. If we're going to judge an entire student section at a football game it should be for that horrible, disgusting school those kids chose and not where their parents may or may not be from.

If we're gonna kick them out of the country, let's make it because they are freaking longhorns.

I think all schools give too many spots to foreigners. I have no problem with people of any color or nationality coming to Texas A&M or tu if they're American citizens. It does bother me that we give so many spots that could go to Americans to international students. There should be a small percentage, but not as many as there are. And honestly, the engineering department at A&M has changed drastically over the years as well.

Interesting that it's mostly men in that photo, though.

What I find sad though is so many people looking at the game through their phones. I know we all record things from now and then but can't people just enjoy being at the game anymore?

I think A&M proved that when we discovered a coven of CCP spies. And I'm sure we still have some.


Legacies should 100% have priority in Texas universities, end of story.

Does Bo French want affirmative action for white people?


Merit based is not and never has been merit based when the entire rest of the world scams the system and cheats on the SAT and ACT. They are literally not playing by the same set of rules and you have the absolute gall to call this affirmative action. These nations cheat on a national level on these tests. We should ban most of the world from being able to even apply because of this garbage.

FIFY. Kids have no choice or factor into the decision of who their ancestors are. I'm puzzled why you'd want to assign points to anyone based on who their ancestors were.

Your opinion is crap once again.

Which makes pandering to white nationalism and Christian nationalism so bizarre. Why would you throw your wife and kids under the bus like that? Why would you imply that your own kids are less American than other Americans?


If something doesnt line up with logic and reason, maybe change your perspective.

In this case: There is no white-nationalist movement that Vance is pandering to. He is pandering to American loving folks. Some of them are white.

They are all that afraid of appearing or being called racist. They would defend literally anything over being perceived at this, which is why it's the only real belief they have.

You're right. Indians have what's called jugaad where it's looked upon favorably culturally to cheat the system.

But did Vance make the statements that you said he made? Flyrod made some claims about French which seem to be untrue. What about yours? You are saying that Vance is a white nationalist now? That's a big claim.

This subject reminds me of public-school integration in Beaumont in 1968. We started school in September and suddenly there were dozens of buses bringing black students on campuses all over town. Both black high schools had been shut down along with the only black junior high. There was unnecessary turmoil resulting from poorly managed integration amongst people who had lived with each other for nearly 150 years. Now we are having a poorly managed mass migration (legal and illegal) from ****hole countries and it is nothing like the cultural assimilation we took for granted in the last century. Thanks to Obama, Biden and feckless Republican politicians who don't even have the balls to pass the SAVE Act.

Congrats you have turned America into nothing but an economic zone with no culture or system of its own.

If you replace Americans with 400 million Indians, you get India 2.0 where we have mountain sized garbage dumps and the most polluted water system in the planet as well as intense persecution of any non-Hindu.

Of course this is probably what you want.

Once you understand Jugaad and Izzat, you will forever be able to predict Indian behavior perfectly.

the fact that none of the common complaints about immigrants from people like bo french (they don't assimilate, their culture is incompatible with america, etc.) apply to the students in this picture, and he still felt the need to say what he did, leaves only racism as the explanation.


H1B fraud isn't a racist topic.
no, but the implication that indian students and their families are by default H1B fraudsters is

The percentage of international students at UT Austin is around 10% for both the undergraduate and graduate population.


Obviously, Americans have different color skin. That is understood. There is a pretty hot discussion in some Texas communities about foreigners and rampant visa fraud and abuse.

I thought the discussion was headed toward that fraud and its impact and also the large percentage of international students.

I guess this discussion can head wherever the reader wants it to.


Yep, Americans have different color skin. The issue and what I think builds resentment is many people associate white as being American. I've seen in many times and I've done it too, when you meet a non-white and ask where are they from. If they respond America, more times than not, there is follow-up question asking where their family is from. White people do that and non whites. Some anticipating the follow-up don't even answer America. It perpetuates the mentality that whites are the real Americans.

I certainly don't meet someone with a different skin color and ask them where they are from because of it and assume that they aren't an American because of their skin color. That sounds like a personal issue for some, but I really don't know anyone who thinks that way.

Being an American isn't a skin color, perhaps, it is an ideal, a way of life, but not a skin color.

If someone has a heavy accent or speaks poor English, you might ask where they are from at some point in a conversation out of curiosity. But that person could have skin color of white, brown, black, etc. It would be based on that curiosity. They could be of European decent and the whitest person one has ever met.

I've never asked anyone where they are from based on their skin color. I've done it when I hear them speak with an unfamiliar or foreign accent….and all of them have been a mix of colors including white.

I haven't either. What an odd thing that no one I know does. This isn't 1945.

Now, if you have a hard accent then certainly. And no one cares because it's obvious and logical.

Quote:

The Americans regard this continent as their birth-right. The seed of all their settlements has been sown in blood and watered in blood. The pioneers who went forth into the wilderness poured out their heart's blood to prepare the country for their posterity; their scalps were taken by the Indians; they sacrificed their life's blood to acquire the possession which we enjoy.

From Sam Houston's "Speech on the Boundary of Texas," delivered in New York in February 1848 during the Mexican American War.


Who is the posterity referred to in the US Constitution? Or in the Texas Constitution of 1836?
